Tyler Flowers hit two home runs in a game for the first time in his career to push the White Sox to a 6-3 victory over the Twins in 10 innings in the opener of a two-game series at Target Field.

With the game tied at 3-3 through nine innings, Dayan Viciedo hit a solo home run to right-center field to lead off the 10th. Flowers followed a Paul Konerko single with a two-run shot just inside the right-field pole.

At the plate

Flowers has hit three homers in the last three games. His first Tuesday fueled a three-run second against Twins starter Tommy Milone.

On the mound

After allowing three runs over the first two innings, Hector Noesi settled down to pitch five more scoreless innings, helped by some bad Twins baserunning. He lasted seven innings for the third straight game, allowing three runs on nine hits, walking none and striking out five.

In the field

All the action from Target Field.

In his first Sox start in left field, Michael Taylor couldn't make a tough play when Danny Santana's RBI double sailed just over his glove in the second inning for a 3-3 tie.

The number

1: Career ejection for center fielder Adam Eaton, who was booted after arguing when he was called out on strikes in his sixth-inning at-bat.

The quote

Robin Ventura: "It's nice to see (Viciedo) swinging it. When he hits and gets on it, he can hit it a long way. It's a nice shot in the arm for us. Flo had a nice night too. Those are big homers for us."
